Hello All,
The other day I was driving my brother to the train station when all of the sudden the engine started to vibrate alot then bam I hear something hit the ground. I stopped the car and looked under my SC and ol' and behold the crankshaft pulley was on the ground! The bolts on the pulley was sheered off the harmonic balancer. It was a good thing that I was just 2 blocks from my house and was not traveling at a high speed or I would have been in big trouble.
This leads to a couple of questions, one is how much should a mechanic charge to take out what's left of the sheered bolts plus putting the pulley back( I believe there is 2), --- and are there any very durable aftermarket bolts I can purchase to replace the damaged ones. I don't want this to happen again. All input will be appreciated.
